129 dropouts in Seattle fixed by 30 inch dish

[bradleys]

Earlier today I moved the 129 LNB from my Dish 1000 to a 30 inch Winegard dish.

The old signal strengths were in the 60s with the Dish 1000.

The new signal strengths are in the 80s with the 30 inch dish.

I used to have several dropouts per hour.

I've had no dropouts in the last five hours.

I found the dish by googling "30 inch dish".

The price was about $50, plus about $50 shipping from Arkansas to Seattle.

The 30 inch dish is more sensitive to pointing than a smaller dish.

Yep...you ought to try a 90cm dish with lower KU signals...very sensitive to point!

I can swing over to 129W with my 90cm w/Invacom LNB and the signals are through the roof.

Good show!

I hope it continues to work out for you.

It helps, if you tell us where you bought the Dish.

Is it the Winegard DS-2077?

If so it is available from a number of suppliers.
